Drabblish things
Dec. 1st, 2009 08:41 pmAh, internets! I have barely known thee for the whole of November, and I have missed thee!
Someday, I swear, I'll catch up on all the wonderful things you lot have posted in the past month and which I've tagged "to read". But Nano is over, and Yuletide is looming (holycrap, how many days do I have left? O_O), and I'm back fresh from the far reaches of Michigan with new fandoms pinging around in my brain.
As our mission when visiting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_melisande_ was to do everything possible to give her a break from schoolwork, we watched a lot of television. And, I hardly need say as it's _melisande_ we're talking about, it was mind-bogglingly awesome television.
I now have under my belt:
- All four seasons of the new Doctor Who
- The first season of Rome
- The first season of Torchwood, plus a disc or two of the second season
We didn't watch all of this over Thanksgiving (I'm not sure we were there for as many hours as that would take XD) but we did finish several milestones: the last episodes of season four of Doctor Who (which means I'm caught up with everything released outside the UK!), the last episodes of Rome's first season, and the last episodes of Torchwood's first season. I feel a great deal less frightened of being spoiled by the internets now, although that doesn't mean I'm going to go recklessly wandering around. There's still a whole season of Torchwood to see, not to mention the miniseries, and another season of Rome, and season five of Doctor Who, whenever that comes out over here.
But anyway! I am sated with ridiculously good storytelling and characters and dialogue and OMFG I love television. And in commemoration, I wrote two thingies. One is a double drabble for Rome, and the other is... I don't know what you'd call 250 words, but it's Doctor Who. I wanted to do one for Torchwood, but I find that I am not yet good enough to come up with the kind of lines worthy of Jack Harkness.
Fandom: Rome
Characters: Pullo
Words: 200
Warnings: Spoilers up through episode 11, "The Spoils," the second-to-last episode of season one.
( When Titus Pullo awoke... )
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: The Doctor, Donna
Words: 250
Warnings: Reference to "The Parting of the Ways" (not sure I'd call it spoilers, as it doesn't exactly tell you much). Set sometime in the fourth season.
( The Doctor was wedged in an open compartment... )
Why the heck do I have no Doctor Who icons? This one will have to do as a Rome substitute *pets Saturninus*
